2008 reissue 180g vinyl LP-"Norwegian Mood" is the first English album of the Norwegian opera stars Kari Bremnes, one of the most successful artists in Scandinavia. The superb songmaterial their travels eighth album in the tradition of great performers like Mary Black or Joni Mitchell and need not fear comparison. Producers were Erik Hillestad and Declan Sinnott (Mary Black). Nestled in partly jazzy, sometimes folkloric arrangements, leaving Karis voice calm, reflective impressions.

Eight albums on, Norways most sophisticated singer-songwriter, makes a bid for a wider market with an English lyric release. A contender in the Joni Mitchell mode, she is ever-evocative, particularly on Montreal, a gorgeous, accordion-dipped chanson.' (FD, Mojo)
